WebRTC

  • Hearing of a project run on FxOS and desktop

  • SUMO: Tyler looked after release on developer sites: nothing. Roland looked last Tuesday:nothing. Roland will create a wiki page and put a link here, and will find an evangelism contact for WebRTC and see if they know anything.

Roadmap Strategy

  • Evaluating what resonates with partners to sweeten preinstall opportunities
  • Firefox to play to our strengths: choice, customization, flexibility, HTML5, performance, extensible platform
  • Firefox will be measured by ADIs, Google star ratings, download growth, conversion rates, press coverage, market share - anything that visibly shows we're a viable and relevant mobile browser
  • Two paths for distribution: download & preinstall
  • Short term roadmap & workload mix in all areas that resonate with partners
    • Some items are targeted for release in Q4 / Q1
    • Other items are work that we need to do in Q4 / Q1 to support a Q2 / Q3 release
  • So you'll hear about a plan covering 6 - 12 months, although the main focus is work that needs to be accomplished in Q4 / Q1
  • Main priority items (which can compromise of multiple components) include:
    • Finishing up search provider work
    • Adding elements of our share provider work
    • Facilitating and improving the WebRTC experience
    • Exploring and prototyping second screen support (including WebRTC use cases) which can include IPTV and STB implementations
    • Reading list improvements
    • Finishing up the Webapp APK synthesis work
    • Always performance improvements to facilitate the mobile gaming story and ensure we don't fall behind the competition in start-up and page load times (also needed for a strong Webapp story)
    • Sync (tablestakes so we don't lose users to Chrome sync)
    • Improved tablet experience (UX wins and m-commerce)
    • Elements of our 'flavours' work
    • GeckoView productization plan
  • Other items that are important but will likely not be able to be accomplished in the short term timeframe but on the books for medium term:
    • Fixing master password
    • First-run experience
    • Data bandwidth optimization
    • Supporting ever-expanding set of locales
    • EOL official Android 2.2 support
    • Further gestures support
    • Expanding on cloud services integration
    • Firefox for the enterprise
  • Lists and priorities will be re-evaluated constantly
